I tried westec homepage, but I could not manage to get a TapeWORM trial copy.
I did send a E-Mail to westec, but sofar no response.
Anyway, I read all the text and it looks very nice.
Which way do you want to choose to encrypt the data ?

 - patch TapeWORM ? Are you a TapeWORM programmer ?
 - patch ASPI ? That would be best I think
 - just encrypt the files and then copy them to the Streamer ? In this case
   everyone could see what is stored on the tape (but not access it)
